4. Observe that the table does not render.

@distalx I checked your repo and it seems you have no datatables npm packages installed. Please see the following comment on why datatables IS NOT a hard-coded dependency anymore:

@jankapunkt, thank you for your quick response.

Installing datatables.net and datatables.net-dt for the default style, along with adding the following function call Tabular.init();, resolves my issue.

I have a follow-up question: in the comment, it mentions passing the DataTables instance to the Tabular.init() call like this: Tabular.init({DataTables}). However, if I don't pass the DataTables instance, it still works.

I think the README should be updated to include the following section:
Updating to 3.0

- Make sure to install the DataTables packages from version 3; we are no longer hard-pinning them.

meteor npm install --save datatables.net datatables.net-dt

- Ensure you initialize Tabular on your client-side code as follows:

// Client-side, ideally in `imports/startup/client/index.js`
import Tabular from 'meteor/aldeed:tabular';
import 'datatables.net'
import 'datatables.net-dt/css/dataTables.dataTables.css'
Tabular.init();
// in case of datatables.net >= v2
import Tabular from 'meteor/aldeed:tabular';
import DataTables from 'datatables.net'
import 'datatables.net-dt/css/dataTables.dataTables.css'
Tabular.init({DataTables});

I can raise a PR to update the README.

EDIT: Apologies, I realized that the open PR already covers these changes.
